LoriH - what about having your son record his thoughts on a digital recorder? At some later day, he might be inclined to transcribe them.

Hugs on respite care for your mom. I can't even imagine the stress you're under.

I think my son and I will find our way eventually. Right now my Ker is having huge issues and I have a meeting w/ the school psych and teacher next week. I might be bringing him home as well which adds a whole new dynamic to the situation.
